Sorry im afraid i dont know a good cargo firm, renting a villa well that really depends where in town you will be working & with regards to schooling GOOD LUCK schools here are a premium, there are new schools opening but you need to get your name in NOW.

Im assuming you have been to Dubai before on holiday ????

the girls are right, 4 kids? not in school yet? you left it way too late now. How much housing allowance have you been offered, and where will the 'office' be?

hi again
lol enjoyed reading your replies truly hilarious
sorry didnt make it clear have found places at gems world academy, am not quite sure about the schooling system though so was wondering if this was a good school or not as they will only open in september was thinking of next year about transferring them to repton which ive heard good comments about.. any comments on other good schools?.. also my daughter has obtained a place at american university of dubai and dubai medical college however she is not sure about which to go to due to mixed comment of the universities overall comments of american university seem to be better?
what is the standard of education compared to the system here?

looking for villas in jumeira/ springs where should i look for information?

thanks help greatly appreciated
lol accommodation is only needed for a month or 2 after that shall move into our apartment
